All of a sudden, my knee started acting up again this week. :( After last week's 8.5 mile run, my knee felt a little sore but nothing major. Monday's run went fine but I limped the rest of the day. Thursday I started icing and it helped a lot. I was worried about my Saturday run, but luckily the old knee felt okay. After I got home, I took ibuprofen and iced and that seemed to help. After next weekend's race, I am going to take some time off to refocus on my yoga practice and I think that will help with the knee issues.

This week, I have follow up appointments with my Moh's surgeon and plastic surgeon. Everything looks like it is healing up nicely, so I expect they will go well.
